Robert was a dear friend and mentor to me while we were both working on the Samref Clean Fuels Project. Although he did not directly supervise me (I was on another team), he went out of his way to provide coaching and feedback sessions for myself and other high potential individuals on the team. He brought a positive outlook to the work and was always willling to lend an ear. Robert's technical expertise, paired with his deep care for those around him, make him an outstanding project manager.
